Beta test for the MindSensors GlideWheel-M:
MindSensors kindly sent me a couple of their GlideWheel-Ms to test. I tested them on two things;
1). How fast can you go?
and 2). How accurate compared to a NXT motor?
My results show that the GlideWheel operates fine at over 1200 RPMs, and has an encoder accuracy equal to or better than that of a NXT motor.
